Tax Increase Necessary Is School Budget Not Cut
Frederick County officials heard a plea from Dr. John J. Carnachan for 12.4 million dollars of the board of education's 20.3 million dollar request for fiscal year 1973. He warned that failure to fund the 2.2 million more would force tax increases and cuts elsewhere. Board president G Hunter Bowers urged full funding of the negotiated teacher contract items, including a 4.5 percent across the board raise and enhanced fringe benefits, while formal endorsement was expected next week. The hearing drew fewer citizens than usual as many teachers were unavailable due to scheduling.
